A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I tried to think of a witty comment.. but all I can keep reading is;
AROUND THE BUTTOCKS.
I would be worried about sitting in this naked and getting a fan trimming my pubic hair or my genitals.
...how often do you sit in your office chair naked.
or actually, don't answer that.
that's what she said...
no wait... forget it.. terrible.
My bony butt is immune to swamp ass. Lucky me. I don't have to waste money on this.
@ Blaine
I'd be more worried that your pubic hair would reach down to the fan location.
No need to worry about your genitals reaching however......they won't.
Where can I get one?
I'll take 2
You want 2? How big is your ass? And where do you buy chairs?
One for each cheek. It couldn't be that I have 2 chairs or anything.
Loveseat what? it is made for one person. How is that a loveseat?
If you find yourself sitting in a chair so long that you need air cooling for your ass...
...then you've got some serious problems.
What's next? A row of them for couch potatoes?
or, you know.. a job?
yeah... because, out of all of us techies... I bet NONE of us sits in our chairs for more than say, 15-20 minutes at a time?

This would be cool for summer!
Engadget is only 2 years late: http://www.crunchgear.com/2006/08/18/usb-ass-cooler/
Or, just buy a Volvo S80 with the Climate package that comes with built in ventilated seats. :)
Most cars have that as an option now
man i had a Subaru SVX with black leather seats, and some posterior cooling would have been great. swamp@ss is a serious problem affecting millions. i know people who dont wear kakis for fear of sweat through.
a bit less practical for office use
Where do I sign up?
In soviet russia you cool chair.
Just get an aeron. My corner of the office is pretty damn cold, and the aeron doesn't help because the chair doesn't keep warm.. just ventilation, everywhere, no heat retention.
Wait, so you are saying to buy a $800 chair to avoid having to spend on an $80 ass cooler?
I've been searching years for a cure for the dreaded Swamp-ass...my quest has finally come to an end!
What, you died and quest failed?
Funny comments are funny, but not every engadget comment needs a smart ass reply.
Especially when they're that stupid..
This thing would be awesome combined with a smoke machine.
+1 for you!
This whoopee cushion wannabe is missing a hole in the middle for those with the dreaded rhoids. A built in vibrator would be nice for keeping the circulation going during long on-line gaming sessions or other nefarious activites.
Yeah. that's what you want a vibrator for. Sure
Now this is a true CrapGadget!!!!
Move this asswindbag to the list!!!
I think if you let one loose the thing may possibly blow up!
Just what I need for when this leather chair gets uncomfortable.
Heh. Count yourself lucky--my employer will only spring for pleather.
In the desert, we use Swamp Coolers (evaporative coolers) to take advantage of the dry and provide cheap cooler.
Finally, someone has developed the Swamp Ass Cooler!
They could also sell quite a few to stagehands if you put the Setwear logo on it and called it a Gig Butt Preventer.
you know, sure it's stupid, probably was poorly designed, yada yada yada yada... but i'm glad somebody has done this. some people do sweat easily and start feeling stuck to their seats after awhile... i've always imagined something to solve this problem... has anyone created car seats yet with little perforations and the a/c piping through the seats and blowing through? and on the back of the seat... so you don't stick and sweat if it's out in the sun and gets hot...
I just bought one, it looks like it might work well under my Interceptor Body Armor when I'm deployed to Iraq soon.
I could use this for my farts.
I've had one of these for 5+ years....got it from sharper image. It actually had a back _and_ ass section, similar fan placement to this one. Works great!
Anyone else concerned that this is blowing air from your nads into your arse? And from there, where...? Up? Behind you?
Seriously, though, imagine this with warm air and larger, and they used something exactly like this for the operating room table. It apparently made such a positive impression on me, I continually talked about it as I was coming out of my Versed-induced stupor.
I have something like this for my car. Cost me $20 and it works well.
